This invention relates to a fulgimide derivative having photochromic activity and useful as recording and memory materials, copying materials, printed photosensitive bodies, photosensitive materials for laser, photosensitive materials for photo-composing, photosensitive materials for display, etc.
Compounds having properties of producing changes in absorption spectra when exposed to irradiation of ultraviolet light, or visible light of short wavelength, are generally called photochromic compounds. These photochromic compounds are expected to be useful as recording and memory materials, copying materials, printed photosensitive bodies, photosensitive materials for laser, photosensitive materials for photo-composing, photosensitive materials for display, etc. As these photochromic compounds, there are generally well known azobenzenes, viologens, triphenylmethanes, spirobenzopyrans, spironaphthoxazines, fulgides, etc. Among these compounds, spirobenzopyrans and spironaphthoxazines are widely studied now. These compounds form colors when exposed to light, but have a defect in that fading takes place by heat even if stored in the dark. Therefore, these are problems in using these compounds as recording media.
On the other hand, fulgide compounds form a color by exposing such to light of 300 to 400 nm, and the color formed hardly fades by heat but extinguish the color by visible light. Thus, the fulgide compounds have recently been noticed as a photochromic compound useful as a recording medium. The fulgide compounds include fulgide derivatives having a structure of dicarboxylic anhydride and fulgimide derivatives. Among them, the fulgide derivatives have problems in water resistance and heat resistance due to having the structure of dicarboxylic anhydride. Therefore, the fulgimide derivatives are noticed as a recording medium.
The fulgimide derivatives are produced, for example, as follows:
A compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group which can have one or more substituents, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or an aryloxy group, or R2 and R3 may be bonded each other to form a ring group such as an adamantyl group, a norbornyl group, etc.; R4 is a group of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R1 ' is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group; R2 ', R3 ', R4 ' and R5 ' are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, an aryloxy group or a halogen atom; W' is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a selenium atom or =N-R6 '; R6 ' is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group; R" is an alkyl group, is reacted with
R# NHMgBr
wherein R# is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group, to form a corresponding succinimide acid, followed by reaction with an acid chloride or acid anhydride to yield a fulgimide derivative of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R# are as defined above (German Offenlegungsschrift 2,441,759 and 2,647,850).
Alternatively, a compound of the formula: ##STR5## wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined above is reacted with
R# NH2
wherein R# is as defined above, to form a succinimide acid, followed by reaction with an acid chloride or an acid anhydride to yield a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I'] (German Offenlegungsschrift 2,441,759 and 2,647,850).
According to these processes, since an acid chloride or acid anhydride is used in the reaction, it is very difficult to synthesize fulgimide derivatives having a reactive functional group such as an amino group, a hydroxyl group, or the like. Further, it is more difficult to introduce a functional group such as an amino group, a hydroxyl group, or the like into the fulgimide derivative of the formula [I'] thus synthesized.
The fulgimide derivative of the formula [I'] has no reactive functional group, so that its application is limited to i) mixing with a suitable monomer for polymerization and molding, ii) dissolving with a suitable solvent to dye a molded resin therein, and iii) dissolving with a suitable solvent for use as a coating composition, an ink, a dye, etc. Further, articles obtained by coating with a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I'] or mixing a polymer with a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I'], followed by molding, are not only poor in water resistance (release of the fulgimide derivative by washing with water) and chemical resistance, but non-uniform in color formation when exposed to light. Improvement of these defects has long been desired.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fulgimide derivative having a photochromic action and useful as recording and memory materials, copying materials, printed photosensitive bodies, photosensitive materials for laser, photosensitive materials for photo-composing, materials for display, etc., and a process for production thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a fulgimide derivative having a vinyl group, and useful as a starting material for producing a polymeric compound having a photochromic action.
The present invention provides a fulgimide derivative of the formula: ##STR6## wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group which may have one or more substituents, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or an aryloxy group, and R2 and R3 may be bonded each other to form a ring group; R4 is a group of the formula: R4 ##STR7## wherein R1 ' is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group; R2 ', R3 ', R4 ', and R5 ' are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, an aryloxy group or a halogen atom; W' is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a selenium atom, or =N-R6'; R6 ' is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group; X is a divalent organic residue; R is an amino group which may have one or more substituents, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an acetal group, a halogen atom, ##STR8## alkyl group, or a salt thereof.
The present invention also provide a process for producing a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I] wherein R is an amino group which may have one or more substituents, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an acetal group or a halogen atom, which comprises subjecting a compound of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined above or a compound of the formula: ##STR10## wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined above, or a mixture of a compound of the formula [II] and a compound of the formula [III], and a compound of the formula:
H2 N-X-R [IV]
wherein X and R are as defined above, to azeotropic dehydration reaction in a non-polar solvent.
The present invention further provides a process for using a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I], wherein R is ##STR11## and R' is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, as a starting material for producing a polymeric compound having a photochromic action.
According to the present invention, fulgimide derivatives having a functional group such as an amino group, a hydroxyl group, etc. can be produced easily and effectively. That is, in the reaction of dehydration ring closure of succinimide acid to yield a fulgimide derivative, since a compound of the formula [IV] is used in place of an acid chloride or an acid anhydride and the ring closure is carried out by azeotropic dehydration reaction in a non-polar solvent, a reactive functional group can easily be introduced into the resulting fulgimide derivative. Further, when the resulting fulgimide derivative is reacted with, for example, a compound of the formula: ##STR12## wherein Z is a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, etc.; and R' is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, a fulgimide derivative having a vinyl group can easily be synthesized.
Since the fulgimide derivative of the formula [I] has a functional group, it can be used for producing a polymer of fulgimide derivative, producing a film by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, fixing a fulgimide derivative to surfaces of various fibers by chemical bonds, etc.

Further R2 and R3 can be bonded each other to form a ring group such as an adamantyl group, a norbonyl group, etc.
R4 is a group represented by the formula ##STR14## wherein R1 ' is a hydrogen atom; a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine; a straight- or branched-chain lower alkyl group preferably having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc.; a straight- or branched-chain lower alkoxy group preferably having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, etc.; R2 ', R3 ', R4 ' and R5 ' are independently a hydrogen atom; an alkyl group (either straight- or branched-chain) preferably having 1 to 30 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, etc.; an alkoxy group (either straight- or branched-chain) preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, etc.; an aryl group such as phenyl, tolyl, ethylphenyl, naphthyl, methylnaphthyl, ethylnaphthyl, etc.; an aralkyl group such as benzyl, phenethyl, phenylpropyl, naphthylmethyl, phenylbenzyl, phenylnaphthylmethyl, etc.; an aryloxy group such as phenoxy, methylphenoxy, naphthoxy, phenylphenoxy, phenylnaphthoxy, etc.; or a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine; R2 ', R3 ', R4 ' and R5 ' may be the same or different each other; and W' is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a selenium atom or =N-R6 '.
More concretely, in the case of W' being an oxygen atom, R4 is a furyl group, a benzofuryl group, an oxazolyl group or isoxazolyl group; in the case of W' being a sulfur atom, R4 is a thienyl group, a benzothienyl group, or a thiazolyl group; in the case of W' being a selenium atom, R4 is a selenyl group, a benzoselenyl group, etc.; and in the case of W' being =N-R6 ', R4 is a pyrrolyl group, an indolyl group, an imidazolyl group or a pyrazolyl group. R6 ' in the =N-R6 ' group is a hydrogen atom; an alkyl group (either straight- or branched-chain) preferably having 1 to 30 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, etc.; an aryl group such as phenyl, tolyl, ethylphenyl, naphthyl, methylnaphthyl, ethylnaphthyl, etc.; or an aralkyl group such as benzyl, phenethyl, phenylpropyl, naphthylmethyl, phenylbenzyl, phenylnaphthylmethyl, etc.
In the compounds of the formula [I] and the formula:
H2 N-X-R [IV]
X is a divalent organic group such as a straight- or branched-chain alkylene group (including a polymethylene group) such as methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, amylene, hexylene, heptylene, octylene, nonylene, decylene, undecylene, dodecylene, etc.; an arylene group such as phenylene, methylphenylene, naphthylene, methylnaphthylene, biphenylene, terphenylene, etc.; a group of the formula: ##STR15## wherein Y' is a straight- or branched-chain alkylene group such as methylene, ethylene, propylene, etc.; a group of the formula: ##STR16## wherein Z' is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, or a sulfonyl group; or a cycloalkylene group, e.g. cyclopropylene, cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene, etc.
When X is a group having aromaticity and bonding directly to the N atom of the fulgimide, e.g., a phenylene group, a naphthylene group, a biphenylene group, a terphenylene group, ##STR17## etc., the resulting fulgimide derivatives are more preferable due to having better thermal stability.
R in the formulae [I] and [IV] is an amino group which may have one or more substituents, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an acetal group, a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, or a group of the formula: ##STR18## wherein R' is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc. As the substituents for the amino group, there can be used a straight- or branched-chain alkyl group preferably having 1 to 18 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, etc.; a hydroxyalkyl group such as hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, etc.; sulfoalkyl groups such as sulfopropyl, sulfobutyl etc.; or a straight- or branched-chain acyl group preferably having 2 to 36 carbon atoms such as acetyl, propionyl, butylyl, valeryl, palmitoyl, etc.
When R is an amino group or a substituted amino group, these groups can be in the form of a mineral acid salt such as a hydrochloride, a sulfate, etc., or an organic acid salt such as an acetate, a p-toluenesulfonate, etc. Further, when R is a carboxyl group or a sulfonic acid group, these groups can form a salt together with ammonium or an alkali metal such as lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.
In the formula [I], it is preferable that R1 is a relatively bulky group such as a higher alkyl group or an aryl group. This is because, when R1 is a relatively bulky group, a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I] hardly produces isomers in the color forming reaction by ring closure when the fulgimide derivative is exposed to ultraviolet light.
Preferable examples of the fulgimide derivatives of the formula [I] are as follows. ##STR19##
The fulgimide derivative of the formula [I] can easily be produced by the following processes.
A compound of the formula [II] or a compound of the formula [III] or a mixture thereof in an amount of 1 mole, and 1 mole or more, preferably 1 to 2 moles, of a compound of the formula [IV] are subject to azeotropic dehydration reaction in a non-polar solvent for 1 to 60 hours, preferably 24 to 48 hours to yield a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I-1] wherein R is an amino group which may have one or more substituents, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an acetal group or a halogen atom.
As the non-polar solvent, there can be used a solvent having azeotropic properties with water, preferably an aromatic non-polar solvent having azotropic properties with water and a relatively high boiling point. Examples of such non-polar solvent are benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.
The fulgimide derivative of the formula [I-1] is then subjected to purification in a conventional manner, dissolution in a solvent such a benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, etc., dropwise addition of a compound of the formula [V] in an amount of 1 to 1.2 moles per mole of the compound of the formula [I-1] at 5°C or lower in the presence of a basic catalyst such as triethylamine, pyridine, etc., and a reaction at near room temperature for 1 to 5 hours to give a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I-2] wherein R is a group of the formula: ##STR20## In the above-mentioned reaction, a corresponding acid anhydride or ester can also be used in place of the compound of the formula [V].
The compounds of the formulae [II] and [III] can be produced as follows.
A compound of the formula:
R4 -CO-R1 [VI]
wherein R1 and R4 are as defined above, and a compound of the formula: ##STR21## wherein R2 and R3 are as defined above; and M1 and M2 are independently an alkyl group, are subjected to the Stobbe condensation, followed by hydrolysis by a conventional method to give a compound of the formula [III]. The compound of the formula [III] can further be subjected to dehydration reaction using an acid chloride or acid anhydride by a conventional method to yield a compound of the formula [II].
The compound of the formula [VI] can be produced by reacting a compound of the formula:
R4 31 H
wherein R4 is as defined above, with a compound of the formula:
R1 -COCl
wherein R1 is as defined above, and anhydrous aluminum chloride.
The compound of the formula [VII] can be produced by subjecting a dialkyl ester of succinic acid and a compound of the formula: ##STR22## wherein R2 and R3 are as defined above, to the Stobbe condensation, followed by esterification by a conventional method.
The compound of the formula [IV] is available commercially. It can also be synthesized by a conventional method.
The compound of the formula [V] is available commercially. It can also be synthesized by a conventional method.
The fulgimide derivatives of the formula [I] have a photochromic action and can effectively be used as recording and memory materials, copying materials, printed photosensitive bodies, photosensitive materials for laser, photosensitive materials for photo-composing, photosensitive materials for display, etc. Particularly the fulgimide derivatives of the formula [I-1] wherein R is an amino group which may have one or more substituents, a hydroxyl group, a formyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, an acetal group or a halogen atom, can effectively used as starting materials for synthesizing fulgimide derivatives further having various useful functional groups, since they have a reactive functional group in their molecules.
The fulgimide derivatives of the formula [I-2] wherein R is a group of the formula: ##STR23## wherein R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group, have a vinyl group in their molecules, so that they can be polymerized by a conventional method, or can be copolymerized with suitable monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid ester, methacrylic acid ester, styrene, vinyl acetate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N,N-dimethylmethacrylamide, acrylonitrile, etc. by a conventional method, to give polymeric compounds having photochromic action.
A polymeric compound having photochromic action can be produced from the fulgimide derivative [I-2], for example, as follows.
A compound of the formula [I-2] wherein R is ##STR24## in an amount of 1 mole and 20 to 5000 moles, preferably 30 to 1000 moles of a monomer such as methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, etc. are reacted in a solvent such as dimethylformamide in a nitrogen gas stream at 50° to 80°C for 2 to 10 hours with stirring using a polymerization initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile.
In the production of a copolymer using a fulgimide derivative of the formula [I-2], it is preferable to select reaction conditions so as to make the content of the fulgimide derivative of the formula [I-2] in an amount of preferably 0.1 to 60 w/w%, more preferably 0.5 to 50 w/w%. When the content of the compound of the formula [I-2] is too low, the color forming ability when exposed to ultraviolet light is insufficient, while when the content is too much, moldability is worsened when processed into various articles by molding, etc.
Various articles can easily be molded using the thus produced polymeric compounds having photochromic action as photochromic materials. Further, the finished articles are excellent in water resistance and chemical resistance, and have an advantage in that the color forming before and after irradiation with light is uniform. Therefore, the polymeric compounds having photochromic action are particularly useful as recording and memory materials.
The present invention is illustrated by way of the following Examples, in which all parts and percents are by weight, unless otherwise specified.

To the reaction solution, a mixed solution of 2.25 moles of methyl vinyl ketone and 2400 ml of DMF was added dropwise in 30 minutes, and the reaction was carried out for further 1 hour. After the reaction, water was poured into the reaction solution, followed by extraction with chloroform. The obtained chloroform solution was washed with dilute sulfuric acid, saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and water in this order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation.

Stability test of color formed for fulgimide derivatives
Storing stability of color formed by exposing the polymer type fulgimide derivative obtained in Example 24 and the fulgimide derivative obtained in Reference Example 7 to ultraviolet light was examined as follows.
Sample No. 1:
A solution obtained by dissolving 1 part of the polymer type fulgimide derivative obtained in Example 24 in 10 parts of a mixed solvent of acetone and cyclohexane (1:1 by weight) was coated on a glass plate in an amount of 5 ml using a bar coater, followed by drying to form a film (Sample No. 1).
Sample No. 2:
A solution obtained by dissolving 0.1 part of the fulgimide derivative obtained in Reference Example 7 and 0.9 part of poly(methyl methacrylate) (average molecular weight: 12,000, mfd. by Aldrich Chemical Co., Inc.) in 10 parts of a mixed solvent of acetone and cyclohexane (1:1 weight ratio) was coated on a glass plate in an amount of 5 ml using a bar coater, followed by drying to form a film (Sample No. 2).
The above-mentioned samples were exposed to ultraviolet light of near 360 nm [light source: 500 W ultra-high pressure mercury lamp (mfd. by Ushio Inc.), filter: IRA-25S and UV-D36C (mfd. by Toshiba Glass Co., Ltd.)] for 2 minutes for color formation, followed by storing in the dark (temperature: 80°C) for predetermined times as listed in Table 1.
After storing for a predetermined time, a colored sample was subjected to measurement of absorbance at 550 nm. The storing stability of color formed was obtained from the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein A0 is an absorbance of a sample at 550 nm immediately after irradiation of ultraviolet light; and A is an absorbance of a sample at 550 nm after stored for a predetermined fine after irradiation of ultraviolet light.
The results are shown in Table 1.

As is clear from the results of Table 1, the storing stability of color formed of the polymer obtained from a fulgimide derivative having a vinyl group of the present invention is significantly higher than that of a simple mixture of a fulgimide derivative and the polymer.
As mentioned above, the fulgimide derivatives of the present invention have photochromic activity and useful as recording and memory materials, copying materials, printed photosensitive bodies, photosensitive materials for laser, photosensitive materials for photo-composing, photosensitive materials for display, etc. by themselves. Further, since the fulgimide derivatives of the present invention have a reactive functional group in their molecules, they can be effectively used as starting materials for synthesizing fulgimide derivatives having various useful functional groups introduced therein. In addition, fulgimide derivatives of the present invention having a vinyl group can be used for producing polymers and copolymers with suitable other monomers, having photochromic activity.
